Here We Go

It’s almost 9 am our plane leaves this afternoon at 5.  The bags are 95% packed and I’m making zucchini muffins before it gets too hot.  The house is quiet giving me time to reflect.  I am going through the motions, but it hasn’t clicked yet that we are leaving for Africa.  Why?  Maybe because this isn’t my trip.  This is God’s trip.  I haven’t done all the planning deciding when I wanted to go or where I wanted to go.  I guess God has the itinerary and I am only along for the ride.  As the temperature soars I think of sitting by the lake, a nice breeze and a book.  Don’t get me wrong I am very grateful to be going on this trip with Amber, it amazes me.  It will be something that will be with us forever.  It will be our “tween” time.  There will be new friends to meet, new things to see and do.  Our lives will be forever changed.  It will be a journey of faith.

Trust God from the bottom of your heart; 

   don't try to figure out everything 

on your own.

Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; 

   he's the one who will keep you on track.

Proverbs 3:5
